Bride with Cancer Has Wedding Without Groom

A mom suffering from severe cancer had her wish come true this week when she starred in a bridal wedding shoot, despite there not being a groom on the scene.

Netis Negron, 36, was diagnosed with severe breast-cancer seven years ago, and recently found that it has become much more serious, spreading to her bones.

But her friends and family brought a ray of hope back into her life after they raised the funds to bring her long-held dream of a fairytale bridal photoshoot to life.

So the mom, from Avondale, Arizona, with the help of her sons, aged nine, 11 and 16, was dressed to perfection at a local bridal store, and was even told she can keep the entire outfit, which she hopes to leave behind to be used when her sons marry.

Negron told ABC News: "I don’t want people to see this as a fake wedding, it was a celebration of life. It was an amazing experience, a symbol for hope and faith. I was with family, friends and complete strangers that I now call friends, and I wouldn’t change that for the world."
